"The Audition"

Considering all the posts I have created regarding the imminent and ever terrifying "audition", I thought it appropriate to post this documentary. It is awesome! It delves right into the realities of auditioning for the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. It's scary and exciting stuff! I loved it, and I  connected with the characters. Plus, the singing is amazing. I really loved how relatable some of the characters were. There were engaging in one of the most stressful and scary endeavors of their lives, yet, I easily related to them on a personal level. It's a full length documentary, but if you have time, try to watch and see what it's really like when the stakes are that high in the real wold of opera!
